as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet cf which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri
ous Ci objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, .like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate
of 'its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. -
Syrup of Figs has also. met with the approval of physicians generally, because
they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by . an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent
medicines. and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly
printed on the front cf every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty; cent size, or having
printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxative remedy is required.

Appointment Pleases Greensboro. ,
Special to The News. '
Greensboro, N. C, Feb. 27. Among
all clases of people here regardless of
political bias or prejudice, except
among the select circle of professional
officeholders of both parties, there was
intense satisfaction at the news Satur
day that Professor Frazier would be
appointed postmaster for Greensboro.
People generally did not consider it
any of their business, this appointment
of federal pie among the politicians,
and were not taking sides with the
factions, until it became Jknown that
Judge Douglas had filed - charges af
fecting Professor Frazier's business
integrity -and private charac
ter, and then they got mad. He has
never been one of the "elect" among
the Republicans of the county or a typ
ical, professional politician, but has al
ways been a gentleman and trained
with white people.
Saturday, in Superior Court here,
Judge Ferguson heard argument in the
case of Blackwell against the Mutual
Reserve Life Association of New York,
praying for the appointment of a perm
anent receiver. Late in the afternoon
Judge Furgerson dismissed the motion
for a permanent receiver and also dis
charged the temporary receivership
created pending the hearing.
The W. F. Clegg Commission Com

A negro boy named Cornell Hood,
aged 12, was fearfully injured yester
day afternoon by the. explosion of a
dynamite cartridge. The accident oc
curred at the rear of -he Soufh Davie
street school building. The right hand
was blown off about an inch below the
wrist joint. Particles of brass were
embedded in his' eyeballs, and, if he
lives, he will be almost if not totally
blind.
For the past few months it is esti
mated that at least a hundred dollars'
worth of clothing has been stolen from
the students of the State Normal and
Industrial College. by negro women at
work in the college laundry. The loss
became so serious the police were put
to work on the case. As a result of two
days' investigation the public station
looked like a laundry. The officers
had captured large bundles of clothing
from four negro women, the effects of
only this- week's pilfering, and the trial
of the culprits was held. Superinten
dent England, of "the Normal College
laundry, identified the property which
the officers had captired in their pos
session. Nina Wood..:one of the de
fendants, was able to give bond for her
appearance at Superior. Court, . but the
other three went to jail.

With the aDDroach of the term of

v . icines at Half Price,
R. R. Jordan & Co., the poular drug
gists, are making an offer that
just like finding money, for they are
selling a regular 50 - cent bottlf of
Dr. . Howard's celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspep
sia at half price. In addition to this
discount they agree to return the
money to any purchaser whom the
specific does not cure.
It is Quite unusual to be able to
buy 50-cent pieces for a quarter, but
that is what this offer really means,
for it is only recently through the so
licitation of Druggists R. H. Jordan &
r.n tha this medicine could be bought
' for less than 50 cents. They urged the
proprietors to allow them to sen it at
this reduced price for a litle while
agreeing to sell a certain amount. .The
result has justified their good judg
ment, for the sale has been something
remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach,
speck3 before the eyes, or any liver
trouble, should take advantage of this
opportunity, for Dr. Howard's specific
will cure. But if by chance it should
not, R. H. Jordan & Co., will return
your money
The specific is very pleasant to
take, coming in the form of small gran
ules, and there are sixty doses in every
package. It is especiall convenient
when traveling, and no one should
start on a jounrey without a bottle of
this reliable medicine.

cherries. Hatchet-shaped sandwiches
were 'served with coffee. Hatchets plac
ed at every plate were souvenirs of the
occasion..
Mr. W. P. Watt reached home, last
night from Philadelphia, where he has
been spending some time in a sanita
rium. Dr. James Irvin, of Danville, ac
companied Mr. Watt and his condition
today is thought to be encouraging.

S. Montgomery has been quite ill with
acute indigestion. The little fellow is
better today and with proper care will
soon recover. '
The Kids will have a party out at
Miss Maud Anderson's, one mile and a
half from town tonight. They went out
in wagons and were having a good
time right.
Appropriate exercises were held at
the Reidsville Seminary in honor of
George Washington's birthday. A drill
by the little folks of Miss. Williamson's

of the exercises and showed careful
training. '

of their home tonight and give' a re
ception to the pupils of the school. All
pupils are invited from 8 to 10 o'clock.
These receptions will be given every

CASTRO'S NEXT MOVE.-
May Call On Uncle Sam to Act As Ar

Willemstad Island of Curacao, Feb.

source- at Caracas that President Cas

will be to call -upon :ae United States
to arbitrate the question of. the amount

TO GROW A FOREST FOR A CITY
PARK. :
Barren, Unsightly Hill to Be Planted
for Beauty and Use in Imitation, of
Natural Woodlands,
Public-spirited citizens of Helena,
Montana, have for some time been agi
tating a plan to convert the unsightly
slopes of Mount Helena, which, lies
just outside the city, into a forest
park. A great deal of interest has been
awakened throughout the State by
this project, for the people of Helena
will not be the only ones to benefit
by. it, Successful forest planting will
be difficult, owing to the scmiarid con
ditions, and will call for expert skill
in the selection o 'suitable) species,
the details of planting, and subsequent
care oi the plantation. A solution of
tho problem will serve as an object
lesson of forest planting under simi
lar conditions elsewhere.1
In the city parks the kind of decora
tive effect sought is generally secureq
by the art of the landscape gardener
rather than by that of the forester.
In the casq .oi Helena there will be
reared, not single individuals or small
groups of trees, such as are set in the
conventional park, but a, true forest.
Later on the trees may be cut for tim
ber, without in the least interfering
with the integrity of the park. A good
many cities have parks which, are part
ly or wholly woodland, .preserved, in
its natural state; but no one thinks
of cutting the timber when it is grown.
Communally owned forrests, however,
maintained primarily as productive
properties, are not unknown in Europe.
The, educational value of such, a forest
is wel worth consideration. A knowl
dge of what forestry means would be
a good deal more common in this
country if other towns would imitate
the example set . by Helena. .,
In order to secure a thoroughly prac
tical plan for the execution of the park
project, the Helena Improvement So
ciety availed itself of the cooperative
offer of the Government Forest Ser
vice, which places its trained foresters
at the disposal of those who wish
to establish plantations of forest tree's.
During the summer a representative
made a study of the-.conditions -.on
the ground, and, as a result, a detailed
planting pfen has just been submitted
to the Society.
The. proposed park contains about
900 acres. There are about 140 acres
already covered with young timber,
and 400 acres
timber, is growing.' Planting will' be
dene on done on about 600 acres.
Western yellow pine and red fir are
the trees recommended for most of
this area.These species compose near
ly all of the ' present stand, so that
their adaptability to existing condit
ions of soil and climate may be de
pended upon. Besides this, they are
among the most stately and also the
most valuable trees of the western
forest. Finally, seed from these trees
is readily obtained in abundance in
the neighborhood, so that ease and
economy in the planting operations
will be secured by their use. Other
trees adapted for the park are limber
pine, lodgepole pine; blue- spruce-Coulter'
pine. The spacing recommended,
6 by 6 feet, would give 1,210 trees to
the acre on land which is without
trees. Where the land is already partly
stocked, from 800 to 1,000 trees per
aero will suffice. The total number
of trees required is estimated at 575,
000. To provide these a special nurse
ry will be started. "

Little Girl's Obstinate Case of
Eczema Instantaneous . Relief
By Cuticura Little Boy's Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of I Torturin Sores Grateful.
Mother Says:
"CUTICIJRA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"
'In reply to your letter I vrite you
my experience, and you are privileged
to : use ' it as" you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti
nate case of- eczema, I resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleasedwith the almost ' instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physician's prescription and relied en
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we conimenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
"In. July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned bis hands, and arms"
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours nia hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the.
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura, Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint
ment, and then' gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura. Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve, miles from a- doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the. mountain.
Respectfully, Mrs. Lizzie Vincent
